On NML: ‘We are really pleased. He gives us a wonderful outlet.
‘Today was another solid performance. He’s still got more to come, which is good for us.’
Darren Moore reaction
‘You only have to see that the conditions weren’t great. The boys, from the first minute until the last, their concentration levels looked good.
‘I thought the three lads in midfield controlled it. The goals came at the right time.
‘Apart from the last five or 10 minutes I was pleased. The boys were worthy of getting the clean sheet.’
Job done in testing conditions. Turned into a very good away performance all in all with plenty of good individual displays.
NMZ and Hutchinson the pick of the bunch.
